00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.040
The next drill we're going to do is going to focus on the amount of bend in
2
00:00:04.040 --> 00:00:05.000
your elbows.
3
00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:10.800
This goes with the connection drill a lot, which is just getting you to use
4
00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:14.000
your bigger muscles instead of the smaller muscles in your forearms and hands.
5
00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:18.550
So what you're going to do is you're going to set up to the ball, taking your
6
00:00:18.550 --> 00:00:22.000
good grip, and you're going to look at your elbows,
7
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:27.410
and you're going to actually hit putts while looking at your elbows, making
8
00:00:27.410 --> 00:00:29.000
sure that they stay the same.
9
00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:33.440
What you'll typically see is either the right arm will straighten, or the left
10
00:00:33.440 --> 00:00:35.000
arm will bend going through the golf ball.
11
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:39.790
So if you hit putts while you're keeping them the same, you'll start to develop
12
00:00:39.790 --> 00:00:42.000
a feeling of what it's like to use your bigger muscles.
13
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:45.610
Give that a try. It's a quick little maintenance drill just to make sure that
14
00:00:45.610 --> 00:00:48.000
you're not using your forearms too much,
15
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:51.000
and it'll help with getting the ball to start online.
